Creative and Cultural Potential as an Element of Specialization of Underdeveloped Regions

Beata Skubiak



Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the cultural and creative capital that in the case of underdeveloped areas may become important development factors and elements of regional specialization. To achieve the goal of the paper different research methods have been used, including secondary data: literature studies of the works as well as magazines and other publications, statistical analysis, reasoning and synthesis for the overall study. The statement based on the analyses is that the sector of culture and creativity that booms at local and regional levels has strategic capacities for combining creativity and innovation in order to boost local economies, to initiate new forms of activity, to create new and sustainable jobs, to bring positive impact on other sectors and increase the attractiveness of cities and regions. The creative and cultural sector is a catalyst for structural change in a number of industrial as well as rural areas and can lead to "rejuvenation" of their economies and influence the public perception of these regions. Cultural and creative capital is an important factor of economic and social innovation, and also helps to start the development process. Culture plays an important role in the structure of the population and is an important element for personal growth and development.
